Here in Australia those spots are for "parents with prams". When I cared for my father, who was in a wheelchair, and there were no free disabled spots, I would park in those spots. I figured that he was in an adult pram. Never got called out for it.
I'm in Australia too, I'm a disability pensioner and have a disabled parking permit. I asked the concierge at the Westfield shopping centre, if I could park in the spots for parents with prams, and was told that of course I could, I've only used them once, as I need to open my door wide to get out of the car, and the time I used one, it was the last one with a footpath beside it.
Im also disabled and in Australia and as a disabled permit holders we are legally permitted to use both disabled parking and parents with prams parking as long as our permits are visible.
In the US a person with a handicap sticker(placard) can stop and unload in a RED (any color) zone, can park where they feel is safe, park in a area mark for police/security spot, employee of the month spot, etc. The handicap placard allows parking by law anywhere.
I’m in the UK and have a disabled parking permit and I have to admit I have very occasionally used a parent and child parking space when no other suitable parking is available.
The pregnant mother in the last story is lucky to not have been arrested by the responding police for harassing the disabled OP. The harassment of disabled people could potentially be treated as a hate crime if a harasser is unlucky
A handicap parking spot is the only one that s fineable/enforceable. ALL the others are just a courtesy (parents with children/expectant mothers/law enforcement/etc). If I'm having a bad day (major pain throughout my body), and all the HP spots are taken, I'll park in one of those spots. And as a veteran, I'll usually park in one of the LE spots (former MO - it counts as LE. 😉 )
Although I do feel for women having to go through pregnancy, as it is no walk in the park....it is not debilitating nor is it permanent. To hear someone making a big case out of someone using the spot that truly needs it because of serious health issues just makes me want the removal of the "pregnant parking" an just make more handicap spots for those that need them most On a personal note...I have always parked away from the front of stores to allow those individuals with needs because it is a courteous thing to do for others and it is not going to kill me nor any other able bodied individual to walk Philippians 2:3-5 New Living Translation (NLT) Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. Don't look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too. You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.
As to the second story m sided with one of the bullied because she is a friend of the bullies mother. That and her beligerant demeanor bit her in the but big time.
I wasn't from 6 months on due to muscle issues in my stomach and carrying weight. But I would've never ever complained about something like the woman did in the story! 🙄 Handicapped ♿ people trump pregnant woman 100% for parking! That's just common sense. 💜✌
until the karen ‘principal’ was removed as acting principal and the school board, because when that happened, all of the protection that that clique had was completely gone
@@JohnH20111 OK, so a thug beats up your girlfriend, a cop protects him, and you get the cop fired... would you be content with the thug no longer gaining protection? Or would you want the thug put in jail for battering your babe? In this case, the bullies attacked a bunch of girls tried to ruin their lives, and still get to graduate with a clean record... they should have been made to write a letter of apology or something to record that incident in case they stay trouble in high-school.
Well… where i live. If you call the police because of a handicap parkingspot you can rest assure the police will - at the very most - call the person who owns the “offending” car, and nothing more. - and if they ask them to come for that reason, they will be told NO. That is ressources going to waste.
For the neighbor that complained about everything in the garden of the home (the one where mint was planted near the border): For ultimate revenge, one could install a root barrier all along the property line (about 1 to 2 feet inside the border). Once that is installed, there are a few kinds of bamboo that grow incredibly, almost unbelievably fast and it spreads almost as fast as it grow. The root barrier will keep it out of OP's friend's garden, but will allow it to (in the process of really, really wanting to grow and spread) cross into the garden of the next-door garden. They will be unable to kill it as fast as it grows and spreads. Now that's biological warfare!
I grew up in Boise, Idaho. Boise is about 50 miles away from the Oregon border. Between Boise and Oregon, is one of the world’s biggest mint farming areas. It smells amazing, and I think they get two, maybe three harvests from it every single season (I’m a city boy, so, what do I know?) I do know, however, that those mint fields are never rotated like they do with other crops. They just water it and harvest it. It smells like a fresh box of mints.
About 20 years ago California was considering adding pregnancy to the list of disabilities for parking. Obstetrician group stepped in and said "Don't. Most pregnant women don't get enough exercise so it's better for them to park further out and walk." And disabled people can park in any spot unless reserved for police, fire, bus, or a specific person.
The Karen may be moody because hormonal fluctuations are a thing, but her moods ran her mouth. This is about as reasonable as I get, so please take note of it. In any event, Titular OP is not an asshole, either. In all honesty, this is just a thing that happened.
The last story the officer is right the only type of parking spot protected by law in handicapped spots. No idea what Karen expected the officer to do as those spots are covered by law
I don't feel sorry for M, she made her bed and it's time to lay in it. She protected the school's bullies cause of her friendship with one of the girls moms, and it got her fired. I hope she doesn't get another job as a principal since she lets the power go straight to her head
3rd. Disability trumps pregnancy here. We can park in disabled, senior, loading zone, and parents with prams parking Those parents parking are courtesy parking only OPs mother is ridiculous.
Parking spots for “expectant mothers” or “mothers of small kids” are not protected by law like a handicapped spot is. Besides a spot only for “mothers with small kids” is sexist! When my kids were small I’d park in those, besides in a cripple anyways with a handicap tag.
Saw a man once pull into the pregnant woman parking spot and get out, he had no handicapped parking permit, he was just fat and lazy. An elderly woman yelled at him to get out of that spot and he should be ashamed of himself and just cause he was fat didn't make him a pregnant woman, he got back into his car and floored it out of the parking lot embarrassed
Even if she was ready to pop at any moment, being pregnant is not a disability. She had no right to harass a disabled person over a parking spot she had no legal or moral right to. Those spots are a courtesy of the store, legally they are no different from any other non-handicapped spot.
@@tokonunya8301 I hope she got a warning or a ticket for harassing the disabled. I just know that she would probably be like only a few weeks pregnant and she's already acting like she's a blimp.
OP's mother in the last story was wrong to tell her she should have gone home and went back to the store later. Why waste time and gas making a second trip when she was already there. And like the cops said, the spaces are a courtesy and it should be ok for a disabled person to use the space when no handicapped spaces are available. And as the husband pointed out, he could drop off his pregnant wife at the door, park then meet her inside. She would not need to walk more because of OP taking the space. In fact, she would walk less. He could alao pick her up at the door, thus saving her a few steps. Hopefully it was just pregnancy hormones making her act like a total butt nugget, but somehow I think it more likely that is just how she is. The hormones just amplified it.
The pregnant mother one, I know imma get a lot of flak for what I’m about to say but that’s fine. First, when you’re pregnant, walking is better for you so the delivery goes easier. Being pregnant is NOT a handicap. Unless you’re having major problems with the pregnancy, which tbh if you are, you shouldn’t be walking much anyway, but it does NOT entitle you to a handicap parking spot. That’s called being an entitled, lazy Karen. Those spots are for people with walkers and wheelchairs, etc, the ACTUAL handicapped people.
Last story -- The woman who took the "Reserved for Pregnant" spot would cry the loudest if a pregnant woman would park in a Handicapped spot, due to the other reserved spots being taken! She sounds like one of those "Rules are for you but not for me" types!
I would agree except for one sentance: "The husband told his wife that it's OK, he'll just drop her off at the door." Meaning that OP was driving and Karen was a passenger in the car (with appearantly no issues standing around for long periods of time.) In a case like that, if I was a disabled driver and all the reserved spaces were taken by pregnant passengers, I would be upset too because they have options and I don't.
Those family & Pregnant spots are courtesy spots only! Handicapped ♿ parkers trump those all day long. Especially when the are all taken and probably some are from cheaters. Not to many places have courtesy spots. I think OP was 100% in the right! ✌
Please stop putting a response to a story before you read anything. There is absolutely no context to what you are saying and no body is gonna remember what you said by the time the story is over. Not a senseless response to something absolutely no one would understand. Is it meant to just be filler to pad the length of the video? There are better ways to do that. If you want to say something to start give a cliff notes/summary of what you are about to read. For example "hey everyone, I have a great story for you today about (insert summary, HOA Karens and an OP with a brilliant way to deal with them)."

All that husband of the last story has to do is document his wife's behavior. Then the divorce proceedings will go much smoother.

She should just say I'm pregnant too but not showing yet.😀😀

Last story, did anyone see how pregnant she was? She clearly was a Karen 😡
What really bothers me, are the people who park in a handicap spot because they’re pregnant or have small kids. That’s not how that works.
Good evening everyone and RedWheel 😊
Hope everyone had a wonderful Sunday 😊
Hope you did also!
congratz to the formerly bullied kid for getting actual justice.. crap can roll uphill, sometimes.
Last story. My wife was perfectly fine throughout her pregnancy.
A couple weeks after giving birth...

The sad thing about the school story is that the bullies still got away with it.

Story 1: Even though she won't know why that neighbor is going to be sorry she ever messed with that hazel!
Last story: I'd like to know how many other times mother hasn't been supportive of OP.
The question then is if she was supportive or not... I mean, comflict-avoidant people would always support by suggesting you avoid conflicts.
I think OPs mom is a people pleaser.
Well… where i live.

Mint grows faster than any plant I have ever planted.
It grows wild in my back yard. I love it! It smells so good! We have two different kinds. 💜✌
Even back then you could have had a voice recorder and recorded their bullying stuff that they did and especially that meeting with M.

It's a perennial that comes back every year so it doesn't get rotated, similar to strawberries. 😀😀

Hello friends
Hi!
Good evening RW. Great stories should have done the dandelion seeds also! I hope you have a great evening and I'll see you in the morning.
The spots were for people with children, not pregnant people. Plus as the police said, since handicap parking was full, she was fine.
No there are also spots set aside for pregnant women too here (Ontario Canada). The only ones required by law are handicapped spots. 😀😀
@@nancymilawski1048 , Cool. I did not know that. Thanks for the info
On the last story, op you did NOTHING wrong.

This woman probably parks in the handicapped spots when the mom one is taken cause she's a mom and she thinks she needs it more.

An elderly woman yelled at him to get out of that spot and he should be ashamed of himself and just cause he was fat didn't make him a pregnant woman, he got back into his car and floored it out of the parking lot embarrassed
Being disabled trumps being pregnant...
Here, if you cut overhanging branches, you are supposed to give the cut material back to the owner.
Interesting, I don't think that applies when I live (Ontario Canada)
I want to know how pregnant she was if she was like only 2 months pregnant I'd say get off your ass and just deal with it.
Even if she was ready to pop at any moment, being pregnant is not a disability. She had no right to harass a disabled person over a parking spot she had no legal or moral right to. Those spots are a courtesy of the store, legally they are no different from any other non-handicapped spot.
